Preparations are underway in Boardman for one of the biggest Oktoberfest celebrations in the Valley.
The Boardman Rotary's 42nd Oktoberfest-Festival kicks off on Sunday at 9 a.m.
The celebration is held in Boardman Park.
The festival started with only 50 vendors behind a small church but grew over the years to 130 vendors. Organizers say the event expects nearly 7,000 visitors.
Admission proceeds benefit the Boardman Rotary. The organization undertakes service projects throughout the year, benefitting groups like East Seals and the Boy Scouts.
